Gas is way to cheap.  AS long as Chevy still sells the big
vehicles, it will remain cheap at any price.  As for Vanagons
this is one reason I stayed with a small displacement engine
swap, 1.8L inline.   This is also why I have a Jetta.
The higher the price the less the fat heads can aford.
If your that brain dead to by a Chevy, thats the only way
your going to learn.   The higher the price the better off
we are.
